Why Our Plyo Boxes are Right for Your Athletic Program
High school coaches, college coaches, club coaches, athletic directors, and sports facility managers all recognize that explosive "pop" is the difference between an average athlete and a champion. Plyometric training is the scientifically proven method for increasing fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment, but it requires equipment that can withstand the violent force of a 300-pound lineman or a high-velocity jump circuit. Our selection of plyo boxes is curated to provide the sturdiest landing platforms in the industry. From traditional steel frames to modern high-density foam, we offer equipment that prioritizes athlete safety while delivering the rigid stability needed for maximum confidence during high-altitude jumps.
Top-Tier Jump Platforms and Conditioning Tools
We stock the most reliable and highly searched plyometric equipment on Google to ensure your weight room or training center is equipped for elite development.
- Soft Foam Plyo Boxes: The preferred choice for athletes concerned about injury. These boxes are constructed from high-density foam with a heavy-duty vinyl cover. If an athlete misses a jump, the soft edges prevent the painful and often season-ending "shinned" shins associated with wood or metal boxes. Many models are stackable with heavy-duty Velcro, allowing for customized heights up to 60 inches.
- Versatile 3-in-1 Wood Plyo Boxes: The ultimate space-saver for budget-conscious athletic directors. These boxes are engineered to be flipped on different sides to provide three distinct jumping heights (typically 20, 24, and 30 inches) in a single unit. Crafted from high-grade plywood with internal bracing, they provide a rock-solid, zero-flex landing surface.
- Steel Frame Plyo Boxes: The classic choice for durability and easy storage. These boxes feature a welded steel frame and a non-slip rubber landing surface. Because they are tapered, they can be nested together, allowing sports facility managers to clear the gym floor quickly and store an entire set in a very small footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main benefit of soft foam plyo boxes over wood or steel?
The primary advantage is safety. Soft foam boxes significantly reduce the risk of injury if an athlete misses a jump. Traditional wood or steel boxes can cause severe lacerations or bruising to the shins; the high-density foam in a soft box provides a forgiving surface while remaining stable enough for a secure landing.
2. How do 3-in-1 wood plyo boxes provide different heights?
These boxes are built as a rectangular cuboid with different dimensions for the length, width, and height. By simply flipping the box onto a different side, you can instantly change the platform height (for example, from 20 inches to 24 inches or 30 inches) without needing additional equipment.
3. Are steel plyo boxes suitable for outdoor use?
While our steel plyo boxes feature durable powder-coated finishes and non-slip rubber tops, we recommend using them on dry surfaces and storing them indoors. Prolonged exposure to moisture can eventually lead to rust on the frame or degradation of the rubber adhesive on the landing platform.
4. What is the best plyo box height for a high school physical education class?
For general physical education or beginners, we recommend starting with lower heights, such as 12 or 18 inches, to master landing mechanics. For varsity athletes, a 20 or 24-inch height is standard, while 30 inches and above are typically reserved for advanced collegiate-level plyometric training.
5. Do you accept school purchase orders for bulk weight room equipment?
Absolutely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and strength coaches can easily submit a formal PO to purchase bulk sets of plyo boxes and other training gear for their entire athletic department.
